About this game
"Is there a dead body who'd like to be buried in me?"
This is a coming-of-age adventure of a young boy who believes he's an ancient Japanese tomb!
In the city of Friendly, where the story takes place, many residents who are shaped like ancient terracotta clay figures belong to the Haniwa Clan.
Amid them lives a curious boy who is neither human nor Haniwa, but something entirely different… a child shaped like a tiny burial mound.
This boy is Kofun, the protagonist of this adventure.

Kofun has always dreamed of becoming a proper burial mound and one day meeting the body that will rest inside of him.
But despite his dream, he never quite had the courage to go out and search.
That all changed when one day, a spirited boy named Haniwa calls out to him and says, "Come play with me!"
And so...their story begins.

Will Kofun ever find the "perfect body" he's been hoping for?
Come to think of it...if he's neither human nor Haniwa...what even is he?
As you explore the world and meet its many residents, all the questions you and Kofun have will begin to unravel.
Through these encounters, he gradually discovers the truth about his origins.
Enjoy a story full of surprises, following Kofun and his friends through a heartfelt tale of friendship and growth.

In The Little Tomb, you will control the protagonist Kofun. The story begins when you explore the playground he lives in.
Wander through the town, examine objects, interact with the residents, and uncover the story bit by bit.
Every person you meet and every item you interact with helps move the narrative foward.
If something catches your eye, don't hesitate to take a closer look and see what you can reveal.

You can easily navigate through the main story using the handy dandy "To-Do List".
But the adventure doesn't stop there, feel free to stray off the path, hunt for hidden treasures, or explore areas unrelated to the main story as every detour is an opportunity for discovery.
Go through the story with Kofun at your own pace.


Kofun grows and develops by earning Action Points.
You gain Action Points every time Kofun interacts with the world by such as, examining objects, playing on playground equipment, and performing other activities.
Once you've gotten some Action Points, you can use them to get new skills or hints to help you solve puzzles you encounter along the way. Kofun is always learning!

Progress through the story and show Kofun a whole world of new experiences!
Let's head out on an adventure to search for a dead body!
Kofun (CV: Akari Kito)

A young boy who lives in Friendly Park. Believes he's an ancient Japanese tomb.
Thinks keyhole-shaped tombs are the coolest of them all.
Haniwa (CV: Yuka Nukui)

He's the one who first shows Kofun the outside world.
Tends to get ahead of himself and act rashly.
Kofun grows throughout his journey as he gets to know all sorts of colorful characters.
Will he be able to find a dead body and become a proper tomb...?
